This is a great example, that I intend to hang on to. I've run into a few people online with some severe willful ignorance about the GDPR. The worst was somebody arguing that since targeted advertising was their business model, that in itself constituted a "legitimate interest". So, pretty much exactly the sort of thing that GDPR forbids.

I don't think so. The important difference being that CentOS is/was downstream of RHEL. So, repacked RHEL to remove the branding, but otherwise exactly the same. This obviously competes with RHEL directly if you feel like you're able and willing to support the system on your own.

On the other hand, Fedora is upstream of RHEL. So, it serves an important role as a testing ground for stuff that may or may not end up in RHEL later down the line. I'm pretty sure you're safe, as it actually fills an essential role that is useful to Red Hat and that is very unlikely to eat into their main business.
I think it's safe to say that, between the primary sense of "rocky" being "made of rock" and elementary common sense, nobody does ;-).

People aren't going to think Rocky Linux is unstable for the same reasons why they don't think Apple computers rot if you leave them in the sun. Also, if a product called Red Hat Enterprise Linux was successful despite the name, I'm guessing it can't be that much of an obstacle for Rocky, either.

Why do you think they need to close their position? They need to meet margin requirements, which they can do by raising cash. Closing their position is the worst of their options and I don’t see why they would take it.

>the diploma means that you're within 60th percentile or somewhere around that, which is not what companies need.

We've spent 30yr trying very hard to remove individual judgement and responsibility from the corporate world. Most employers larger than say ~75 people likely have enough process built up that they can skate by on people who mindlessly follow process with a few talented people sprinkled about to spice things up.

>while the truth is, most people are just not talented enough to be employed into demanding and well-paying office positions that most of us here work in.

The hardest part about working as a programmer is getting your first job as a programmer which usually means suffering through Calc 3 you'll never think very hard about again. Getting a pay stub is on FAANG letterhead doesn't automatically equate with intelligence though many here may keep telling themselves that. The bulk of the SWEs and SREs in those companies are just going through the motions and reacting to situations as any other person operating under the same constraints would. Besides basic problem solving ability that all humans have and a background with experiences that qualify you for the job there's nothing special about it.
It's the rise of Chrome and web as an app delivery platform instead of just interlinked documents. This has necessitated a huge, ever expanding API and ever-increasing security concerns, and these have totally swamped browser devs to the point that they have simply stopped caring about end-user UI, productivity, customisation, backward-compatibility and such.

The web is now essentially an operating system under active, nascent development, so the churn is going to be enormous and the whole thing will lack any kind of polish or UX. Expect it to stabilise in a few decades as something else takes over (maybe).
The problems are shown only on mid-long term. We are seeing children more introvert and more "scared" of the external world. Children that will grow into adults that are not able to deal with unforeseen negative events.

I agree with you that this is an issue in any kids physical external activity. But the difference is that these activities are often supervised by an adult and in an event of a bullying the participants are removed and also often punished, and also the victim is helped and assisted. Note that I use the word "often" because I know that there are parents that encourage bullying behavior as ~self-defense~, which I also disagree heavily.

We don't have adults supervising every Fortnite lobby. Most children do not know how to use reporting tools to report improper behavior by another player. And while they suffer from bad words, psychological threats and such, they can't just turn off their devices, because the game always offer them a reward, a new skin, virtual coins, lootboxes, etc, so they keep playing, and therefore we have a loop.

Just yesterday I reported a player who cheated on FIFA, by exploiting a glitch that enabled him to play with a team full of superplayers and legends. The whole process took me almost 30 minutes. Sometimes I think that they don't want us to report bad behavior because the process itself is tiring.

> Fansubbers work for the shows they love while the commercial distributors just pick the cheapest option to get the thing done ASAP, don't matter how sh*tty the result is. There is no chance for quality here.

I wouldn’t call subtitles that require about a GB of RAM to process and don’t even get 20fps on an i7-6700 "quality". That’s just a bunch of shitty hacks people accept because there’s no alternative.

ASS is a horrible format (three implementations, only a single well-working implementation, performance hungry, etc), and almost all of the benefits of ASS can also be had with e.g. TTML without the issues.

And stuff like rendering the same line hundreds of times to get a gradient effect or blurred background is absolutely wasteful, especially because it’s just a hack to work around the broken ASS limitations.
Sure, but you must admit that there's probably a difference in the software used by security researchers and that used by average people. I know some who use linux for their day-to-day operations, and a few more who use OpenBSD. Though I'd say you're right that the majority (especially those who work in more "corporate" jobs) use either windows or mac.
You're operating off of the false assumption that evolution contradicts the existence of a God.

It depends when you ask. Most times checking this thread it's been dire. The current top 3 commenters, comprising the first page of comments:

"The problem is that it's not totally clear whether Giuliani believed any of his crazy-talk. It may actually be the case that Giuliani is just off his rocker."

"I think it's nuts for a modern democracy to allow for anything but open source software being used to count paper ballots with chain-of-custody records, voter ID validation, biometric markings, and redacted ballots being published on the web for all to view and count independently."

"I hope whatever happens with these lawsuits it chills the baseless accusations of voter fraud used to undermine voter confidence in our democracy"

It's the definition of polarisation, entirely one-sided views, and each side demonstrably not thinking impartially. The first and third threads are largely echo-chambers with heavily-downvoted opposing views (which are often reasonable). All threads have some useful discussion, but its divisive opposite comes in seemingly combative/reactive waves that are stark in their coordination.

A community rooted in computer security (and AI) shouldn't be reliant on the naive idea that each anonymous online forum account represents one real person.

This question is similar to asking on a car forum when using a 40 foot lorry will be the default starter car for everyone. The answer is "probably never" because while it does offer superior cargo transport scalability, the tradeoffs are not worth it for the vast majority of users. The question is posed like distributed databases have no disadvantages over non-distributed databases, but that is simply not the case. Clustering introduces all sort of problems, from network splits to slow(er) joins across nodes.

Why are people assuming this is in any way IBM's doing? I know it's easy to say "IBM bad" but everything that has been said so far indicates this was a joint decision between Red Hat engineering and the CentOS project board members.

The cognitive dissonance in assuming every acquisition of a smaller company by a bigger one immediately results in the collapse of said small company is unreal.
They do appear on the mobile app. One person out of the hundreds I follow uses them, so therefore I am reminded that they exist, even though I never watch them. If that person happened to stop creating them, I would not know what they are or that they exist.
This comes back to what I mentioned earlier in the thread that it “requires a shocking amount of initiative on the part of the patient.”

There are also easy and hard paths through the system. If you are motivated to get a diagnosis, you can talk to a psychologist or psychiatrist and get a diagnosis. You can look for a therapist who specializes in those issues. You can take this diagnosis to a psychiatrist and say “I have diagnosis X and symptoms Y.”

If you go into the hospital with a broken leg, you can just check into the hospital and you will come out with a cast and an appointment to have it removed. If you have mental health issues, unless they are severe enough to require hospitalization, you are in charge of your own treatment.

Open source is not free-of-charge to develop. Either a company is paying someone to contribute, or someone is dedicating voluntarily their own high-value time to contribute. Neither of the above is free.
According to this chart there has been an insignificant reduction in installed capacity.

https://energy-charts.info/charts/installed_power/chart.htm?...

Nuclear power went from 20GW to 10GW.
Hard coal went from 28GW to 22GW.

Ok, but gas went up from 23GW to 29GW. Brown coal stayed the same.

Renewables went up by by 50GW for PV and 50GW for wind. Consider that wind often hits a 50% capacity factor. That is 25GW in additional power just from wind alone.

Some of those plants may not be running continuously but they are still useful for emergency responses.

Yes the exposure is much worse. If you are long a stock you can sell it whenever you feel like it is about to lose value. When you sell covered options you may be forced to hold the stock until the contract expires. That’s the whole point of the call: the buyer pays you the premium and in exchange you are taking all of the risk for the duration of the contract.

Ah, it is Vim's todo list, not using Vim as a todo app.

I was looking for more pointers on the later, I wrote a little on using Vim Wiki for managing todo list, always on the look out for more tips.

Here's the TLDR;

- Install Vim wiki plugin

- Convert line to checkboxes using ctrl-space

- Use ctrl-space to mark complete

- Use gln to toggle partial complete (glp for previous)

- gl<Space> to remove checkbox

Yes. Memory can reach 768GB on a single instance today and I imagine that to expand. From there you can scale by sharding.

There's a significant difference in the willingness to enact change between the Legislative branch and the Executive branch.

Where Congress (legislative branch) has been unwilling to pass any new regulations upon social media, the SEC (executive branch) is going to shut down these sorts of forums when they become disruptive.

Having worked in this field, while the SEC can sometimes be slow to act, the fact that it made the front page of the WSJ, it is only a matter of time before that hammer comes down.

In the opinion of a last semester CS student who has never written an application from scratch that needed more than a SQLite DB (so take me with a half grain of salt), it seems like premature optimization, while always talked about, is very common. I see people talking about using Kubernetes for internal applications and I just can't figure out why. If it's a hobby project and you want to learn Kubernetes, that's a different situation, but in the case of making a real application that people will use, it seems like a lot of us can get away with a single DB, a few workers of our app, and maybe a cache.

I'm speaking out of little experience though. I just think that a lot of us can get away with traditional vertical scaling and not think too much about it.
>Not to mention that if there were any hypothetical API calls those could be made asynchronously after closing the modal.

If you did that, users wouldn't be able to see whether their opt out was successful.
>I think there is an unspoken part to "reduce consumption", "without decreasing the comfort of living". Decreasing individuals' buying power is about as good a solution to consumption as "don't give people enough food to feed their kids" is to overpopulation.

Attaching a fantasy requirement to real world constraints serves no purpose.

Reducing population does attain the goal of reducing consumption. Reducing people’s ability to take honeymoons to Tahiti reduces consumption. Reducing people’s ability to drive large vehicles to take the kids to school and go shopping for groceries reduces consumption. Reducing people’s ability to live far away from everything, which in turn reduces the amount of energy needed to push all the mass around needed to live far away from everything also reduces consumption.

There is no free lunch.

> I'm convinced, though, that phones and notebooks are expensive and "modular" enough that repairs with proper replacement part availability would be cost-effective.

Are they modular? As far as I understand, everything is getting more and more integrated. Also, compared to the cost of buying new, the cost of labor to fix my MacBook Air or iPhone is far too high where I live. Perhaps if taxes were sufficiently high to make a new laptop or phone more costly to purchase to offset the pollution, then it would make sense.
Given how fungible electricity is, any attempt to stifle it would just open the way for a competitor.

This looks like a hedge against the inevitable day when people stop buying gasoline.
I didn't see it from that point of view. It was just interesting to watch for me, out of the corner of my eyes, while doing other stuff on other systems and screens. I did that somewhere between 2005 and 2008, whenever I felt like it :-) With a focus on Germany in general, and my town especially. So I had it mostly zoomed just so that Germany was in view, with small parts of neighbouring countries visible.
We didn't have that much solar and wind at the times. But sometimes one could see the direction of flow switch. From/to France for instance, or Denmark. And I think I've seen that to/from Poland and Czech also.

Anyway, you could get a feeling for how things were depending on time of year/day, weather, and so on. Intuitevely, because presented spatially and realtime.

And you don't get that spatial intuitiveness from the substitutes with (often delayed) charts & graphs.

Which makes it impossible to counter bullshit by politicians or other parties with vested interests when they are saying this and that, and you could have said: Ahem, that is not entirely correct, because there and then it was like so, and not what you say!

And the loss of that ability is making me angry!

edit: Regarding the 'intuitiveness' of spatial vs. bars & charts. Even when the possibility to filter for im/export between countries exists, it does not show over which lines it went. Which could be useful in discussions about extending/upgrading lines, or building new ones. It's just not there.
Yes. The only use for sed (and awk) is one–liners. That you either use once and throw away or immediately assign to a shell alias so that you can reuse it, because a shell alias is a means of abstraction.

wow, are you kidding? MySQL replication is possibly the worst I've ever seen.

There is almost no consideration for the target being up to date, I have personally experienced missed inserts, replication lags, and the replica being set to read/write.

PGs integrated replication is far superior, it even has support for bootstrapping a new replica node without rsync and a command to `promote` the replica to write master.

yeah, but how much can they bleed? Can they just give up, default and declare bankruptcy? And then all the people hoping for a short squeeze end up holding stock that is not worth much anymore?
Exactly right. It’s all fun and games until the wrong firm loses big enough then the SEC hammer will come down.
Avoiding sharding and complex replication is very smart to postpone as late as possible with any database (mysql, postgres, mongodb). It can be very fragile or fail in unexpected or unusual ways and most importantly it can take much longer to fix. E.g. 18 hours instead of 2 hours of downtime.

>> "These are people who", the CentOS team said, "never called, never write, they don't interact with us."

So the people for whom Red Hat provided no measurable value beyond the intrinsic value of what you downloaded. The copyright for which is largely owned by Not Red Hat, and thus they're bound by the GPL.

Red Hat adds incremental value to those projects and organizes the distribution - they deserve to get paid for that, of course. But they were paid - they are the stick by which all other open source companies measure their commercial success. If you advertise being open source as a good thing, the ability to fork is a feature, not a bug. So the Rocky Linuxes of the world are inevitable and a good thing.

Acquiring the CentOS project and then killing it is destroying a lot of community good will and I have no sympathy...
